Los Angeles River Run

Erik Gauger's Notes from the Road is a pretty rich collection of Gauger's travels and photography. The writing tends toward the personal and introspective, the photos toward charmingly bleak landscapes. Of particular note is "Gray River in the Sun," Gauger's travelogue of driving and paddling the heavily repurposed Los Angeles River. The essay has a lot to say about LA history and culture, and plus, it starts with a hash-and-coke party in Malibu.
